Week 11 - Who to Root For


Toker Smurf

Recommended Posts

Someone used to make this thread weekly. I hope this makes sense because it is 2:00 a.m. and I have had a lot of Vodka. 

 

Dallas vs Miami
Dolphins -  AFC over NFC &  pretty much eliminate the Cowboys from the playoffs,  removing incentive for them to beat us next week 

Denver vs Chicago
Broncos, AFC over NFC

Indianapolis vs Atlanta
Colts,  AFC over NFC plus handing our division rivals another loss,  giving us a four game division lead,  assuming we beat the Redskins 

New York Jets vs Houston
Texans,  increases our strength of schedule,  in case of tie breaker

Oakland vs Detroit
Raiders,  AFC over NFC

St. Louis vs Baltimore
Ravens,  AFC over NFC

Tampa Bay vs Philadelphia
Eagles,  loss for division rival and increase strength of schedule 

Washington vs Carolina
Panthers,  duh

Kansas City vs San Diego
Pick em

Green Bay vs Minnesota
Packers,  strength of schedule & increase lead over Vikings for home field advantage

San Francisco vs Seattle
49ers, clinch home field vs Seattle in playoffs,  assuming we beat Redskins

Cincinnati vs Arizona
Bengals, AFC over NFC and increase lead over Arizona for home field in playoffs 

Buffalo vs New England
Bills,  because Patriots

Sounds crazy I know, but I'm pulling for Chicago and Minnesota, and to tell you the truth it's not even close.

By pulling FOR Chicago, I'm in actuality pulling AGAINST Atlanta, Seattle, and Green Bay.  IF the Bears could pull of that miracle and actually oust one or more of those teams, how sweet that would be.

Would we rather face Aaron Rodgers in a rematch or toothpick Teddy Bridgewater in January?  I rest my case.  Bury the Pack NOW while they're reeling and God willing they'll be in the ash heap with the Falcons and Seahawks by the time we kick off at BOA in the divisional round.

Minnesota has a TOUGH second half slate.  As does Arizona by the way.  Pulling against Green Bay makes more sense.

Been thinking it for two weeks... Minny, ATL, AZ, and GB all have tough schedules over the last 7 games. Wouldn't surprise me if we clinch home field by the 2nd week of December if we keep winning.

Agree.  One game at a time, but I dream very realistically of walking out of BOA after whipping the Falcons @$$ on Dec 13 with home field wrapped up.

If the Panthers win their next 3 games (12-0).  (Redskins, @Cowboys, and @Saints) and the Falcons lose 2 of their next 3 (7-5) (Colts, Vikings, @Bucs) the Panthers could seal the division in week 13. 

 

Seems pretty likely to me honestly.

 Seattle over San Fran makes more sense. Increases our SOS and lowers the Falcons. The Seahawks are really not threat to us at this point.

Unless we completely lay an egg the rest of the season only games of any consequence to us are.

Seahawks over Niners for to increase our SOS and lower that of the Falcons.

Packers over Vikings same exact reason as above.

Bengals over Cardinals for obvious reasons. 

Colts over Falcons for obvious reasons.

The Seahawks need to DIE.  Until they are completely eliminated they could be a threat.  We want them to implode!!!  No Panther fan should root for those turds!!!

From a mathematical standpoint there's no arguing against the Seahawks over the Niners. 

Conference record is the 2nd tiebreaker after head to head, so there's no scenario where schedule strength it makes a hill of beans at this point since other teams have AFC losses and we won't.

    • I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.     
    • Playing devils adovcate here, but if you truly wanted to trade down then it made no sense to be a smoke screen for Walker only.  Especially since Tmac is not a generational type player.  Make it known that he is in play and see if the cowboys or whoever really like him as rumored. 
    • I mean everybody was, there is a difference between wanting them to draft the guy you like and accepting them drafting someone else based off all the intel and rumors. Up until draft night everybody was convinced it was gonna be walker or maybe another defensive player. If you didn't you was just crossing your fingers.
